I'm getting dizzy, this argument is going around in circles, haven't we already talked about this? I'll try again I guess.
You might say they sold him because they think he is shit and that is fine but you are obivously wrong. Atletico Madrid is a club that sells its players all the time if they get the right money or if the player wants to leave. When was the last time they forced a player to stay? I can't even think of one. This window they sold Turan and Miranda, two of their best players. Last season they sold Costa and Luis and the season before that they sold Falcao.
- They loaned him out and agreed a fee with Southampton if the move would be made permanent but there was obviously no obligation to sell.
- He had a great season.
- During the season their sporting director said that they are monitoring his progress, that he is doing well and that they are counting on him for the next season.
- He returns when the season is over and says that he wants to go back to England. They allow him to go.
Don't put words in my mouth. I never said he was shit or that AM thought he was. Just that there actions were not those of a team that cared that much if he stayed or left.
As i said a couple of posts ago, it doesn't matter.
